RAILROAD RUMBLE.
Adams VS.. Pnrfer.

CHICAGO, Jan. 11.-Franklin MacV eagh,
one of the government directors of the
Union Pacific. in a letter addressed to a
moring paper respecting the controversy be-
tween President Charles Francis Adams
and Il. Ell. Porter regarding the tariff ex-
acted by the Union Pacific on steel rails.
says:
1t ought to enable you to temper your criti-
clsm of the Union Pacific and President
Adams to recall what can only have tempo
rarlly escaped your attention, that the tariff
OF rates between Chicago and Colorado which
is now so seriously objected to by the steel
companies, is not only great deal older than
Mr. Adams presidency. but it is the joint
work of all the lines that are wholly or in
part in Colorado, including the Burlington
and the AtchiSo 4. Whether or not it is fair
to charge so much more beyond the Missouri
than on this side of it, it is hardly fair to put
the burden of such a long-establisned tariff
upon newcomer into the pool, like Mr..
Adams. That large difference is justi1iable
all agree, and just how much or how little
the difference should be on particular item
OF very long list, might we'll seem to Mr..
Adams of less immediate Importance than on
other matters pressing upon his attention.

THE POET GRAY.
Some of His Musical Works Now Owned
by an American Lady.

Some of His Musical Works Now Owned
by an American Lady.
It has long been known that the poet Gray
had taste for music, but to what extent and
in what direction his taste lay has not till
now been made apparent. It appears that
during his visit to Italy with Horace Walpole
he set about collecting the music of those
times-1739-4O The collection then made IS
in nine volumes. One of these gives evil
dence of the seriousness of Gray's studies. It
contains several pages of rules written in
Italian for accompanying on the harpsichord
from the thorough bass figures to which
composers were in the habit of restricting
their Accomplishments for keyed instruments
hundred and fifty years ago The whole
of Pergolesis ''Stabat Mater may be found
in another volume.
There are two whole volumes of Leonardo
Vinci's music one of Leonardo Leo's and
two volumes Of Hasse's music. The bulk of
the music is plainly the work of profes.
sional copyist. Gray seems to have confined
his personal labors in the compilation to the
table of contents, to indicating in the music
the title of the opera from which it was
taken, and occasionally date 40 an ldentl-
flying epithet after the name OF the composer,
such as, 'sMazzoni, Bolognese;;" ''Selitti, Ma
polentana;" "Carlo Arrigoni Florentino,"
&c. As the majority of these composers are
unknown, some of these memoranda are
historically interesting. With scarcely an
exception the subjects are classical. These
volumes belong to an American lady who
lives in Fifth avenue, New York.-St. James

| it is dead. When the two are well-mated
the battle often lasts for days, the ami
mails tearing and decorating each other
until one or the other gives up, where
upon the conqueror assumes control of
the herd. The sea elephants are valued
for their oil, and after q number are
killed the skin and blubber are removed
and the oil is tried out and placed in
barrels ready for shipment. When we
cut up the animals there would be a
sight worth seeing. Birds of all kinds
found in that country, from big pebuts
to the albatross, would gather about in
hundreds, running under your feet and
swapping at the dead sea elephant,
fighting for each bit, screaming and
crying so that you couldn't hear man
speak unless he was right at your side.
| never believed birds would be so fear
less, but here we had actually to knock
them over and push them aside"
The old sealer's account of life in the
sea elephant country but family portrays
the horrors of existence there, and how
men can be found to voluntarily enter
upon such life is difficult to explain.
The elephant fisheries at Heard Island
are still more difficult, and require an
other method, somewhat peculiar. This
consists of what are termed "whippers,"
whose business it is to drive sea
elephants off shore. AS in the island
previously described, there is one

huge animals often with great cruelty:
forcing them off shore so that thew will
finally take refuge on the other side of
| the island, where they can be killed and
their oil made available to the vessels.
The plains of wind and snow-swept
Heard Island are in some places COW
cred with the skeletons of thousands of sea
elephants, and so rapidly have they been
slaughtered in past years that in all prob
ability they will in time become extinct
or disappear like the great rhytina of the
northwest coast of America
The sea elephant may be considered
huge seal, and specimens have been seen
thirty feet in length and eighteen feet in
circumference, so they are elephantine
in size. When enraged they initiate
bladder-like portion of the nostril that
expands, forming slight resemblance
to the trunk of an elephant, though it
rarely extends more than ten inches, and

bular sac just above the nostrils is called,

utters loud roars, which, with its pom
derous shape, are quite sufficient to
alarm any enemy but man. AS we have
seen, the animals live in herds upon
desolate islands, and have what may be
considered a restricted geographical
range, being found principally in the
Antarctic regions. While thousands
are still seen at Kerguelen land,
their numbers have greatly depreci-
ated, and judging from the ancient
hollows or casts, they existed there at
one time in countless thousands. In
their habits they resemble the seals and
sea lions; yet in their feeding they are
remarkable. During the breeding season
they eat nothing, living upon their fat,
as do the otarzada; that this is possible
is easily shown by an examination
of the layer of blubber like that of the
whales which they possess. In this layer
of blubber we find the secret of their
being able to live in such icy water, and
to show what protection this non-con-
